STEM

Facilitated by Rarni Rothwell

STEM is an approach to learning and development that integrates the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Through STEM, children learn to ask questions, work together, think creatively, solve problems, explore, take calculated risks, test solutions and discover new ways of doing things. The continual advances in technology are changing the way students learn, connect and interact every day. Skills developed by students through STEM provide them with the foundation to succeed at school and beyond.
